Installing Lights on a SR5 Sports Bar
Looking at putting 4 Spotties on my new bar, and i was just wondering if anyone out there has any info on the way they ran there wiring(from the cab to the bar). Any info at all would be appriciated.
Anyoneon my old falcon ute I set up driving lights on the roll bar.
Ran all the wiring inside the hoop of the main bar.
Brought the wires out thru the bottom of the top hoop - angled to the front - so they were hidden from view and couldnt be knocked by loads or branches.
Use rubber gromments everywhere !!! - they will save a LOT of trouble later on. Buy them before you start - so you can drill the right sized holes everywhere - and have all the wires threaded thru them to start with.
Use heavy wiring - as it will be a long way from the battery to the lights.
Im not sure on the hiluxes - but I ran my wiring under the whole cab - from a relay next to the battery.
Relay switching power wire came off the high beam light. Relay switching earth wire ran to a grounded switch in the cab.
Lights on the bar like that may look a big weird - but throw excellent light due to their height.
Watch out for light bouncing off the bonnet - or thru the rear window of the cab.
best of luck
